//       Class : ClockObject
// Description : A ClockObject keeps track of elapsed real time and
//               discrete time.  It can run in two modes: In normal
//               mode, get_frame_time() returns the time as of the
//               last time tick() was called.  This is the "discrete"
//               time, and is usually used to get the time as of, for
//               instance, the beginning of the current frame.  In
//               non-real-time mode, get_frame_time() returns a
//               constant increment since the last time tick() was
//               called; this is useful when it is desirable to fake
//               the clock out, for instance for non-real-time
//               animation rendering.
//
//               In both modes, get_real_time() always returns the
//               elapsed real time in seconds since the ClockObject
//               was constructed, or since it was last reset.
//
//               You can create your own ClockObject whenever you want
//               to have your own local timer.  There is also a
//               default, global ClockObject intended to represent
//               global time for the application; this is normally set
//               up to tick every frame so that its get_frame_time()
//               will return the time for the current frame.
